Wayne State's football team will wear jerseys with Medal of Honor winners names

As part of its celebration of 100 years of athletics, Wayne State, a Division II university in Detroit, will wear commemorative uniforms honoring the military.

The uniforms will feature an American flag on the shoulders along with the names of Medal of Honor recipients.

The Medal of Honor names will be worn in place of players' names on the back of the jerseys, for example, linebacker Anthony Pittman will wear the name of James Stoddard, who served in the Union Navy during the Civil War.
